My last one my only complaint was that the volume would go from too quiet to hear to so loud the speaker was breaking up But I very often had people comment that they didn't think I was on a cell phone while talking to them so the outgoing sound quality must have been much better than the incoming.

I just upgraded to a vx8300 and love it. The sound is much better than my old LG, the battery lasts longer, the bluetooth works great and the camera actually isn't horrible. The one thing I don't much care for is it's a music player phone...but you can't use the songs you put on it as ringtones (you can use bitpim with the bluetooth to convert and upload them though.)

The main reason I don't like it being a music phone though (something which frankly I think is just plain silly - I want my phone battery to be there for calls not so I can listen to music) is because there's a play button on the outside and if it's held down for about two seconds it will start to play. And I always seem to be leaning against it resulting in a sudden burst of tunes from my pocket at unusual times.

Amy has a Sony/Erricson and it's not bad...but I can't say I'm impressed by it's sound quality...or it's coverage (though that's probably more AT&T/Cingular's fault) and the interface just feels clunky to me. I felt much the same about her old Nokia as well.

And I just plain don't like Motorola phones at all...way overpriced, annoying menus, they just don't live up to Motorolas good name anymore IMHO.
